## When to use it

> Priya Sharma handles billing at acme.in. She sets her display name to "Priya Sharma | Accounts", so customers can see at a glance which department is writing to them.

## Good to know

- The display name changes only the name shown to recipients. Your email address stays the same.
- Mails you have already sent keep the old name.
